What exactly is financial ability (Istita'ah)?
Question: When am I considered financially able, such that Hajj becomes obligatory?
Answer: You must be able to afford travel expenses (round trip), accommodation in Makkah and Madinah, the cost of sacrifice, and other necessary Hajj expenses. In addition, your family’s living expenses during your absence must be secured. After returning, your normal life should not fall into hardship. If going to Hajj would cause serious financial difficulty, you are not considered financially able
